據美國媒體報道，面對美國兒童肥胖癥的流行，越來越多美國專家學者開始倡議，應該從飲食著手，應對不斷蔓延的兒童肥胖癥。
美國公立學校已推行“從農場到學校”計劃，在參與這項計劃的學校當中，讓兒童接觸“從農場到學校”的相關活動，希望從小給孩子們灌輸健康的飲食理念。
部分原文報道如下：
Farm to School links school children with farm fresh food and educational activities that bring the whole world of agriculture to life and help instill lifestyle choices that nurture their bodies, their communities, and the planet.
Young people who have the chance to dig in a garden, learn about nutrition, agriculture and the natural world, and have the opportunity to cook fresh foods, are more likely to eat these healthy foods when they are served in the school cafeteria and when available to them at home.
2013 Farm to School Educational Activities Recipients
Farm to Table received 28 applications through the Farm to School Educational Activities Program in early 2013. After careful review and consideration, 22 recipients throughout New Mexico were selected to receive a total of $18,543 in direct financial support. Additionally, all requests have the opportunity to participate in specialized trainings. The Farm To School Educational Activities Program at Farm To Table-NM is made possible by Nirvana Ma?ana Institute and 1st National Bank of Santa Fe.
